No milk today, my love has gone away,
E Am E Am
The bottle stands for - lorn, a symbol of the dawn,

No milk today, it seems a common sight,

But people passing by, don't know the reason why!
[Verse 2]
A G
How could they know ...just what this message means?
D D E A
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,

How could they know ...a palace there had been?

Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen!

No milk to - day, it wasn't always so,
(No milk to - day----------!)
E Am E Am
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day,

As music played, the faster did we dance,
(As music played--------------!)

(Ah------------, ah---------, ah---------, ah-----!)
